(See the table for new XP rates in its dedicated section of this blog) - Reduced the production speed - the Incendiary and Chainshot cannonballs can now be made at one set every 2 ticks. - Some hotfixes we've deployed last week: - The auto-retaliate option for cannons no longer has an additional delay, bringing them in line with standard combat. - The armour immunity of keels now works correctly when auto-retaliate is enabled for cannons. - The "Boat 'Em Up" track now correctly unlocks and gets added to the Music Player when the player is the Captain of the boat. If you previously completed the quest and the track did not unlock, you can now unlock it simply by disembarking at Last Light. **Changes to the Last Man Standing Rewards Eligibility** - Now, players must first win a game of Last Man Standing before they can purchase any tradeable items from Justine's Stuff for the Last Shopper Standing. - Players who haven't won any games can only purchase the untradeable items from the shop. **Wilderness QoL Change** - Now, if a player dies without having been in combat with another player within the last 30 seconds, their death will be treated as a PvM death instead of a PvP death - even if they were attacked by another player earlier. This change is intended to prevent situations where players are attacked in the Wilderness, forget they were attacked, then continue engaging in PvM and lose their items to a PvP death unknowingly. - This applies to _all _account types, meaning if you haven't been in player combat in the last 30 seconds before dying: - The PKer can no longer receive your loot. - Your items can be reclaimed from your Gravestone or Death. - If you've been in player combat in the last 30 second before dying, standard PvP death mechanics will apply. **Other Changes** - Updated the Leagues first board to reflect that Kalmaars was the first player to max in Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts. - A message about puffer fish has been updated for players using the Medallion of the Deep. **PvP Rota** The PvP rota has moved to **Period B**: - 560 - (UK) - PvP World - 319 - (US) - Bounty Hunter World - 579 - (US) - High-Risk PvP World - 561 - (UK) - Free-to-Play PvP World - 580 - (US) - LMS Competitive World 390 (AUS) for LMS Competitive has been **de-activated** with this rota. World 569 (AUS) for Bounty Hunter has been **de-activated** with this rota. The PvP Arena is using **'1 Def Pure'** loadouts in Ranked Duels and Tournaments this week. --- ##### Sailing Changes ##### Adjusting Steel and Iron Colours for Cannonballs and Nails We’ve updated the colours of Steel and Iron cannonballs to better depict their metals, bringing them in line with other items made from those materials. Likewise, Steel and Iron nails have also been adjusted so their appearance better matches their metal. This should help clear any confusion and improve the new player experience. _If you can’t see the image above, click (https://cdn.runescape.com/assets/img/external/oldschool/2026/Newsposts/2026-05-27/colours.png)!_ ##### Rubium Mining and Smithing Tweaks We're making c _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1343370/view/680751612361179181]_
